Conclusions – Lumia 930

Nokia Lumia 930 is probably the best solution in the segment of smartphones Windows Phone 8.1.

Undoubted advantages of the device – Cancel productivity and bright OLED-display with supersensitive surface and wide viewing angles, excellent main camera, which, in my opinion, is superior in features photo-modules many recent Android -flagmanov. For some, it may be important that the smartphone does not have a memory card slot and headphone included, but for me, in fact it turned out really is not so critical.

The estimated cost of Lumia 930 is $ 630, and a slightly lower price, of course, would give him a much better chance in the market, but given the small market share of WP, in the apparatus there is every reason for the success.
